Festive season is upon us and we intend to waste no time in reinstating the sartorial zeitgeist of 2022. Maximalist, over the top, revenge dressing that is a sign of direct rebellion against the loungewear lifestyle of 2021. So it goes without saying that a high shine outfit with max glow factor is going to be our ultimate go-to for any and every outing that will take place for the rest of this year. That said, 2021 has almost been like a recap of the fashion from the past, albeit an updated version of it. We’ve seen a lot of long-forgotten trends make a roaring comeback this year. One such trend that has re-entered our wardrobe are shiny bright and gleaming outfits.

What was once seen as restricted to weddings, is now responsible for dressing you up from head to toe. From your scrunchies to your shoes, such fabrics have made a quotidian return. The luxurious and elegant fabrics are becoming a wardrobe staple because of their versatility. The fluidity of them makes them perfect for all silhouettes and can transition from day to night with ease.

Whether in the form of metallic, satin or shimmering sequins, getting dressed up to get noticed reaches maximum potential when you shine. This is your opportunity for that go-all-out moment, and it can come by day or night. When it comes to the high shine section of your wardrobe, make sure you invest in a piece that really speaks to your personality. So, this is the time to step into your element for the social season ahead. Take the high-shine trend and prove its time to glow now and beyond.

From relaxed matching separates to contrasting two-piece suits topped off with shimmering accessories, have a look at these dresses and get inspired on how to nail the look and usher in a dazzling new season.
